2 Command List

A command set describes the behavior of the printer when sequences of bytes are received

through the communication interface. The command set available with LR2000 is ESC/POS®.

It is a standard defined by Seiko Epson Corporation. ESC/POS® commands can be classified as

executing or setting. An executing command cause the printer to execute something and does

not affect further incoming data. On the other hand, a setting command cause the printer to

change its internal flags that may affect incoming data. ESC/POS® commands supported by

LR2000 are summarized in the following table.

3 Command Set Details

This section presents detailed information about each ESC/POS® command implemented by

the LR2000 printer. Some terms used in the description of ESC/POS command set need further

explanation, as described below.

 Print buffer: a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.

 Print buffer full: the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while

the print buffer is full, the data in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is

executed. This is the same operation as the LF operation.

 Start of line: a state that satisfies the following conditions:

 Print buffer is empty.

 There is no data to print (including portions of data skipped due to HT).

 The print position has not been specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command.

 Printable area: the maximum space available for printing. The printable area under

ESC/POS for LR2000 is specified by horizontal direction (72mm or 2.84”).

 Printing area: a value set by the command. It must be always less than or equal to

printable area.

 Ignore: a state in which all codes, including parameters, are read in and discarded, and

nothing happens.

 MSB: Most Significant Bit

 LSB: Least Significant Bit

HT

[Name] Horizontal tab

[Format] ASCII HT

Hex 09

Decimal 9

[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.

[Notes]

 This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.

 If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer sets the

printing position to [printing area width + 1].

 Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.

 If this command is received when the printing position is at [printing area width + 1],

the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and horizontal tab

processing from the beginning of the next line.

[Reference] ESC D

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

LF

[Name] Print and line feed

[Format] ASCII LF

Hex 0A

Decimal 10

[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line, based on the cu rrent line

spacing.

[Note] This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

[Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3

CR

[Name] Print and carriage return

[Format] ASCII CR

Hex 0D

Decimal 13

[Description] When automatic line feed is enabled, this command functions the same as LF; when

automatic line feed is disabled, this command is ignored.

[Notes]

 This command line feed is ignored with a serial interface model.

 Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.

[Reference] LF

DLE EOT n

[Name] Real-time status transmission

[Format] ASCII DLE EOT n

Hex 10 04 n

Decimal 16 4 n

[Range] 1 n 4

[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by n in real-time, according to the

following parameters:

n = 1: Transmit printer status

n = 2: Transmit offline status

n = 3: Transmit error status

n = 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status

[Notes]

 The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence <10>H<04>H<n>

(1 n 4) is received.

Example:

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

In ESC m nL nH d1...dk, d1=<10>H, d2=<04>H, d3=<01>H

 Do not use this command within another command that consists of 2 or more bytes.

Example:

If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host

computer) goes to MARK before n is transmitted and then DLE EOT 3

interrupts before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT 3 is processed

as the code for ESC 3 <10>H.

 The printer transmits the current status. Each status item is represented by one-byte

of data.

 The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer can

receive data.

 The printer executes this command upon receiving it.

 This command is executed even when the printer is offline, the receive buffer is full, or

there is an error status with a serial interface model.

 With a parallel interface model, this command cannot be executed when the printer is

busy. This command is executed even when the printer is offline or in error status, with

a parallel interface model.

 When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using the GS a command, the status

transmitted by the DLE EOT command and the ASB status must be differentiated.

DLE ENQ n

[Name] Real-time request to printer

[Format] ASCII DLE ENQ n

Hex 10 05 n

Decimal 16 5 n

[Range] 1 n 2

[Description] Responds to a request from the host computer. n specifies the requests as follows:

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

n

Request

1

Recover from an error and restart printing from the line where the error occurred

2

Recover from an error at clearing the receive and print buffers

[Notes]  This command is effective only when an auto cutter error, a black mark detecting

error or a platen-open error occurs.

 The printer starts processing data upon receiving this command.

 This command is executed even when the printer is offline, the receive buffer is full,

or there is an error status with a serial interface model.

 With a parallel interface model, this command cannot be executed when the printer

is busy.

 The status is also transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>H<05>H<n> (1

n 2) is received.

Example:

In ESC m nL nH dk, d1 = <10>H, d2 = <05>H, d3 = <01>H

 This command should not be contained within another command that consists of

two or more bytes.

Example:

If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host

computer) goes to MARK before n is transmitted, and DLE ENQ 2 interrupts before

n is received, the code <10>H for DLE ENQ 2 is processed as the code for ESC 3

<10>H.

 DLE ENQ 2 enables the printer to recover from an error after clearing the data in

the receive buffer and the print buffer. The printer retains the settings (byESC !,

ESC 3, etc.) that were in effect when the error occurred. The printer can be

initialized completely by using this command and ESC @. This command is

enabled only for errors that have the possibility of recovery, except for print head

temperature error.

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

The pulse ON time is [t x 100 ms] and the OFF time is [ t x 100 ms].

[Details]  When the pulse is output to the connector pin specified while ESC p or DEL DC4 is

executed while this command is processed,this command is ignored.

 With a serial interface model, this command is executed even when the printer is

receive the command.

 With a parallel interface model, this command is not executed even when the printer

is receive the command.

 If printer data includes the same character strings as this command, the printer

performs the same operation specified by this command. The user must consider

this.

 This command should not be used within the data sequence of another command

that consists of 2 or more bytes.

 This command is effective even when the printer is disabled with ESC = (Select

peripheral device).

[Notes]  When both double-height and double-width modes are selected, quadruple-size

characters are printed.

 The printer can underline all characters, but cannot underline the space set by HT

or 90clockwise rotated characters.

 The thickness of the underline is that selected by ESC , regardless of the

character size.

 When some characters in a line are double or more height, all the characters in the

line are aligned at the baseline.

 ESC M can also select character font type. However, the setting of the last

received command is effective.

 ESC E can also turn on or off emphasized mode. However, the setting of the last

received command is effective.

 ESC can also turn on or off underline mode. However, the setting of the last

received command is effective.

 GS ! can also select character size. However, the setting of the last received

command is effective.

 Emphasized mode is effective for alphanumeric and Kanji. All print modes except

emphasized mode are effective only for alphanumeric.

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

[Description]  Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at which subsequent

characters are to be printed.

 The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL + nH×256)×

0.141 mm].

[Notes]  Settings outside the specified printable area are ignored.

 In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.

ESC % n

[Name] Select/cancel user-defined character set

[Format] ASCII ESC % n

Hex 1B 25 n

Decimal 27 37 n

[Range] 0 n 255

[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defined character set.

 When the LSB of n is 0, the user-defined character set is canceled.

 When the LSB of n is 1, the user-defined character set is selected.

[Notes]  When the user-defined character set is canceled, the built-in character set is

automatically selected.

 n is available only for the least significant bit.

[Default] n = 0

ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1...d(y x1)]...[xk d1...d(y xk)]

[Name] Define user-defined characters

[Format] ASCII ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1...d(y × x1)]...[xk d1...d(y × xk)]

Hex 1B 26 y c1 c2 [x1 d1...d(y × x1)]...[xk d1...d(y × xk)]

[Range] y = 3

32 c1 c2 126

0 x 12 (when Font A (12×24) is selected)

0 x 9 (when Font B (9×17) is selected)

0 d1 ... d(y × xk) 255

[Description] Defines user-defined characters.

 y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.

 c1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and c2 specifies the

final code.

 x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.2

[Notes]  The allowable character code range is from ASCII code <20>H to <7E>H (95

characters).

 It is possible to define multiple characters for consecutive character codes. If only

one character is desired, use c1 = c2.

 d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the horizontal direction

from the left side. Any remaining dots on the right side are blank.

 The data to define user-defined characters is (y×x) bytes.

 Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 not to print a dot.

 This command can define different user-defined character patterns for each font.

To select a font, use ESC ! or ESC M.

 User-defined characters and a downloaded bit image cannot be defined

simultaneously. When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is

cleared.

 The user-defined character definition is cleared when:

1) ESC @ is executed.

2) GS is executed.

3) ESC ? is executed.

4) The power is turned off.

 When user-defined characters are defined in Font B (9 17), only the most

significant bit of the 3rd byte of data in vertical direction is effective.

[Default] The internal character set

[Reference] ESC %, ESC ?

[Example]

 When Font A (12×24) is selected.
